Did Kohberger's Team Forget What 'Expert' Means In 'Expert Witness'?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, a heated discussion was brought to the forefront regarding an expert witness who had allegedly recanted their testimony. Special guest, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, joined in to unpack the complexities surrounding the bizarre twists and turns of the case.
 
 Brueski began, "So what does one do when the expert witness that you hired to come testify goes back to office workplace and starts recanting their testimony to coworkers? Allegedly." It's a perplexing scenario, especially considering the gravity of the case at hand. This unexpected development even led to a visit from the FBI to one of the individuals in the Kohberger expert witness camp.
 
 Dreeke, who specializes in behavior and counterintelligence, expressed his confusion: "And yet the biggest thing that struck me with this one, I don't know why the FBI interviewed them. This is not an FBI investigation." Why would the prosecutor ask two FBI agents to interview Gabriela Vargas, the expert in question, instead of local authorities or state officials handling the matter?
 
 Brueski added, "It sounds real official. It sounds, oh, we're gonna get to the bottom of this because we're sending two FBI agents to go and question her about it." However, the more they delved into the situation, the more unanswered questions seemed to emerge.
 
 Another element adding to the puzzling nature of the case is Anne Taylor, who seems to be making a significant issue out of certain aspects. As Dreeke pointed out, "I think she does all she can, she's part of it, you know, she's the writer, he's the author, and they're coming up with their methodologies." Could there be underlying reasons for their strategies?
 
 In another bizarre twist, there's speculation over a video clip that apparently shows Brian Kohberger entering the courtroom with his fly partially zipped. Brueski remarked, "Are they just kind of grasping at anything and trying to get the cameras out with any reason they can possibly go for right now?" Dreeke concurred, saying that the defense seems to be "shooting a shotgun and hoping one of the pellets hits."
 
 Drawing on his expertise in human behavior, Dreeke posited that the defense's tactic is consistent: "They're going to continue to do it right up until I think the trial. Because this is their behavior arc of constantly picking, going." They aim to sow doubt in the jury, hoping that amidst the plethora of information, one seed might resonate with a juror.
 
 Brueski raised another pertinent question, "So delaying this now and who knows when it will end up actually going to trial next year, the following?" Both agreed that delaying the trial could be a strategic move by the defense. As Dreeke said, "That also gives them more time to try and get death off the table. I think so."
 
 In conclusion, the Kohberger case continues to confound, raising more questions than answers. From expert witnesses recanting their testimonies to questionable FBI involvement, each twist makes the path to justice increasingly complex. With the trial's future still uncertain, one can only hope that clarity will eventually prevail.
